Friend or Foe app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: MacSpots Software
First release : 01 Mar 2012
App size: 7.25 Mb
**** READ PEOPLE ****
**** Open letter to users ****
I normally dont top this but it is required now. Some people will take offense to this, and some people will laugh and respect it. So here it is:
Ive gotten bad reviews because people say it doesnt work -You are not reading the instructions!
Facebook and Twitter does not keep the defriend date - thats why you cant find it online. This app keeps track of it from this day forward.
So at initial launch you WILL HAVE 0 Xfriends. it will keep track from today on.
Do you understand that??? So your claim of it not working is crazy.
It takes too long to load.. If you want the locations of users, I have to grab that. Its not just there. So I have to pull all your friends, then find them. If you want a faster app, buy one of the other apps that doesnt do location. But I bet your buying this because it does location - So CHILL OUT!
The Chart works when there is data - if you have 0 XFriends, then there will be no data on the chart.
So, if you write a bad review because you didnt read, its your fault. And your taking your short coming out on me.
If i offended you, I am sorry - if you found this rant funny.. well you now know what the app is intended to do and if you want it - great - and feel free to contact me with any suggestions or added features. I love talking to people who read, and want good apps.

Latest reviews of Friend or Foe app for iPhone and iPad
It will not work!
Conceptually this app is a nice idea but it does not do what it claims. Twitter/FACEBOOK does NOT show who unfollowed. It takes a long time to update. The one good things is updating the timelines (Twitter/FACEBOOK) at the same time.
People need to read the instructions. All you people with 1 star reviews cant read instructions! Every XFriender app works the same way. It keeps track of defriended people from the day you install the app and forward. The app works great, you all need to learn to READ!
I like where the app is headed, and I do understand a few of the developers gripes, however, it seems the developer is making excuses rather than de-bugging the app. I dont mind taking a few moments to update, but at least have some sort of indicator showing its updating rather than it locking up and preventing me from doing anything with the app. I could at least look at old information and act on it rather than the app freezing for several minutes while its updating. Additionally, why the app doesnt save the old information is beyond me. Why does it start out w/ zeros across the board every time I use it despite staying logged in? It may be an Apple multitasking restriction, but the app only updates when you use it—no background updating like other apps Ive used. Not a big deal, but there are other apps that do this. Also, why allow the user to click on an "ex-follower" and even provide a sound for it only to say theres nothing you can do? Of course theres many things you can do—bring up a mobile twitter page of that user if you want, and yes, there are things you can do, SUCH AS UNFOLLOW THEM YOURSELF! I like the app, but the open letter in the description seems to show a bit of immaturity and a number of excuses why the developer cant or wont tighten up his code or debug his app. The interface is great, I could care less about locations, but it consolidates Twitter and Facebook into one app. It does freeze up, I dont even mind that so much if there was a spinning beach ball at the very least to tell me, "please hold on, Im doing something so you cant use me, my developer is spending too much time taking personal offense to the reviews rather than making me better."
This app still doesnt do what it says, despite what the developer says. Yes Ive read the instructions. No matter how long I wait, it still puts the location of my friends in Nigeria. It also puts some ex Facebook friends that are still friends on the list. Do not waste your money.
